Oh man, crossing my fingers that there will be a solution soon. It's really the small details that make the game so enjoyable.

Well I think we got our answer from @MaxisJoe. Time for the modders to go to work!

@champion_hustler That was a de facto answer. If there was an effort to fix it, I think MaxisJoe would have said so.

EA is definitely aware of this. I am currently in a chatroom with an EA representative to complain about this issue... once again. I have done this before, at least the rep is actually trying to help. I don't think she's aware of how many people are going through this. Keeps asking about my computer specs and mods... it's not the mods, it's the game.
Edit:
Apparently, it isn't a "known issue" with EA. So far, chat time One Hour Ten Minutes, and counting.

@SimMinnie79 It's definitely a known issue and has been since this thread was created. EA support may not know about it, which isn't really an issue since there's no fix for it for a support rep to recommend. But it was reported almost as soon as the 64-bit version was released, and acknowledged right away:

Well, they spent a lot of time on that conversion and I think it was complicated process. They did in my opinion great work and it would be a little bit silly not to patch a few obvious things (I hope it's easy to fix!). I guess that they didn't expect that weird bugs, so for that moment they may have another job to do and they'll eventually come back for that later and then maybe they fix most of issues at once.
I don't know anything, just wondering with hope, while waiting, ahaha.

I am sad to report that I am having the same problem with oceans in all worlds. I only recently reinstalled the sims 3 on my Mac (the 64-bit version) and have found that I can not click on the ocean to interact with it - there is no option to swim, fish or snorkel, it is just greyed out and says ‘no interaction available’
This is extremely frustrating since I just bought island paradise (not realizing this was a common problem) and can not use a significant portion of the pack. I’m so disappointed and really urge EA to fix this ASAP as it’s really hindering my enjoyment of the game.
